The 2019 Women's World Cup takes place in France and is the eighth version of this relatively new tournament. Twenty-four national women's football teams will start in the group stage in six groups from 7 June to 7 July 2019. The best 16 teams then compete against each other in the knockout phase.

From the group stage to the knockout phase

Groups A to F each consist of 4 national teams. After the group stage follows the knockout round. The two best teams of the six preliminary round groups and the best 4 third place finishers qualify for this knockout phase.

For the order of the group thirds, these criteria apply:

• Number of points from all group matches
• Goal difference from all group matches
• Number of goals scored in all group matches
• Lower number of fairplay points
